Your name William Wood McIver rang a bell.Around 10-15 years ago I had extensive correspondance with a remarkable lady named Lue Allred regarding his possible service in Johnson's Texas Spy Co. perhaps listed on his or wifes Tx.CSA Pension.Seems McIver may have had an incident with the federal army and confined and escaped from a stockade at Jefferson,Tx.during reconstruction.Was married to a lady named Fuller in 1866 Harrison,Co.Tx and may have had a Drew Co.,Ark.connection.Lue was gathering info for a possible book or movie about McIver and strange as it sounds mentioned a friendship with Larry McMurtry.

May take me awhile to dig out my files if you think this may be your man.
